Thread 713831375

The new update killed it. Look at this. Only a 1/3 of a lobby full after the update. So many just stopped playing. Has any developer ever fucked up this badly? The game isn't even a month old yet. I like this game a lot and I honestly feel a little scammed now they did this and I'm sure I'm not the only one. The worst part is that Nintendo probably won't change things back

No its a game for retards that sweats play because they can btfo retard. If anything the casuals left. The sweats have an audience to appease

>>713831770
Mario Kart World introduced "intermissions" where you drive from one track to the next in the open world.
The issue that comes from these intermissions is that there's a lot of straight line simulators here, meaning everyone is all huddled together and there's no shortcuts to use and break away most of the time. Then when you actually reach the track, you only play a single lap.
For the intermissions that do have shortcuts, they are astronomically huge and you basically win outright by taking one, so you basically win by playing poorly and staying at the back to get the best items.
There's no balance. Either there's no shortcuts or the shortcut is way too powerful.
Because you only play a single lap, you can also snuggle the best items to the end and just win because everyone is still usually huddled together so it's easy to break away and just win and because it's just the one lap, the odds of players catching up like they would in a traditional Mario Kart are basically zero.
tldr hold a simulator, actual track is just a single lap and over before it begins

>>713832197
I forgot to mention the most important part, oops.
Online, there was a way to not play these ever, and so that's what people did.
Nintendo just patched that and people are pissed they have to now play the intermissions for the aforementioned reasons

Fake. Nintendo is winning so hard. Cope and seethe.
Nintendo always wins baby.

>>713831843
If you criticize Nintendo you’re a [randomized buzzword]!

>>713832197
>>713832314
It seems like a fundamental problem with trying to turn Mario Kart into an open world game.
My guess is that Nintendo is trying to steer players into liking these intermissions, at the cost of player's own enjoyment. It's never good when devs try to enforce the way they think you should play a game.

>>713832197
this has been a problem for numerous mario kart installments. being in first on the last lap is a guaranteed loss. will they ever fix this retarded shit? lmao

>>713832841
you could frontrun in mk8 fine. deluxe not so much
2 items encourages bagging, it's far too easy to comeback by holding onto 2 strong items, compare to just 1.
its even worse in world because the shortcuts are large enough to need a mega/gold mushroom to cross and said shortcuts can easily make you jump from 18th > 1st

Mkwii is better
Double dash better than both

But anon I did multiply races with 15+ people and Knockout is always full

Xenoblade X and its consequences have been a disaster for modern Nintendo games.

>>713833295
If you liked intermissions knockout is always the way to go, why would you want to pause break after each segment in worldwide? When you can run 5 segments together in knock out, it feels like open world racing there.
Like no wonder worldwide is dead, it's just an inferior mode without 3 lap tracks

>>713833696
I mean I had multiple WW races (not Knockouts) where it was 15+ people. Not to say other people are wrong but I legit there is something wrong with matchmaking because after it his like 15 people the races just start and it always seems to hover around 12-18 for me the few times I do WW (which I prefer to 24). Knockout is just better tho

>>713833696
>>713832197
>>713833696
I've yet to buy the S2 but still planning on getting this because I love MK
Just seems weird to me that they would make the regular modes use the intermission and single laps when 3 lap tracks has always been standard and no one has every hated it.
Kind of just bizarre, that's the main pull of MK. Knockout is already in the game for people who want to do a whacky races tour. I'm honestly excited to try this mode.
Also intermission sounds less cool more I learn, like the one that's over the water and the 1st and 2nd place just get to take a fucking boat and a helicopter for a huge speed boost.

>>713831602
>Nintendo makes new tracks
>some are really fun
>offer the most opportunities to fuck around with rails and wall riding
>wanting to do 3 laps on them is now bad

>>713835127
It seems like they want people to do the new open world mode they put so much work into, hence why they forced them off picking random.
Still a bit douchey I hope they add separate worldwide modes so both sets of people can enjoy it. Though I much prefer knock out tour to doing worldwide for those tracks anyway

>>713835567
I would prefer that the selection be up to 4 and make it so 2 are traditional and 2 are Routes so that way I don’t have to wait in a queue 2 different times depending on my mood. Knockout is my favorite mode but it is time consuming and there are sometimes I want a quick and dirty race

>>713835127
I think most people who have played the game would agree with that assessment. It is a great game, but Nintendo does nothing to get you to play the best parts and will actively discourage you. The open world has interesting features to explore, but they aren't covered by the intermissions and there is nothing to push you towards them other than the checklist of ? panels to find. The race courses are great and generally feel good all around with fun mechanics to go faster or possibly go a bit slower in exchange for getting away from the crowd. The intermissions aren't as bad as /v/ makes them out to be with some of the exaggerated claims, but there are way too many highways with gently rolling corners that make them feel way too similar. I cannot comprehend why Nintendo thinks they should make up a good 2/3 of your time on top of knockout tour where they are the main focus. You feel like you don't know anything about the game after finishing the single player content since the only easy access to the courses are through lobbies and time trials. It is essentially a good game that they are forcing to be mediocre. They also put a lot of effort into the open world, but they were too lazy to put in the relatively smaller effort to show it off well to the player.

>>713832314
>Online, there was a way to not play these ever, and so that's what people did.
>Nintendo just patched that and people are pissed they have to now play the intermissions for the aforementioned reasons
Correction, on online after finishing a race, whoever doesn't leave the lobby gets a 4 choices for tracks on which to play next.
3 of those choices are grabbed from a pool of tracks depending on where was the finish line of the current race that just ended.
One was simply "random" and allowed any 3 lap track on the map.

Regardless of the choice, depending on the voting results, if the result was an intermission track that was near, you got thrown directly into it with people scrambling to the start line.
If it wasn't near, everyone simply got teleported to the start line.

Now, the first 3 choices were bugged, and ONLY ever gave you intermission tracks, but random was also bugged giving you ONLY traditional 3 lap tracks.

Nintendo fixed both bugs, now the 3 choices give you proper 3 laps 90% of the time, and random is now actually random but weighted in favor of 3 lap tracks.
However jewtubers are pretending you can now ONLY play intermission tracks, with some outright claiming such on their grifter clickbait videos.

>>713831375 (OP)
sounds weird for people to invent imaginary rules then cry when obvious bug is corrected.

>>713836397
The issue with having both options is majority will just pick the traditional tracks, much like 99% of the lobby doing that with random before the update. So honestly you'd just never get routes if the former was available, hence the suggestion for splitting up the mode

>>713831375 (OP)
Now you know how smash players feel when nintendo destroyed it with brawl and all subsequent games

>>713831375 (OP)
MARIO KART IS DEAD HAHAHAHAAHAHA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jxG0tM5Erg

>>713835567
they should’ve known from Forza horizon intermission open world would be dogshit

>>713837041
You would think that but this update honestly showed me that it more 30% will pick Routes at least in my personal experience (7.9k-8K VR). There have been many times where an option for a 3 lap was up and like 4 people (in a lobby of 18) picked a route and 3 more picked random. Even when traditional tracks were up I have ended up on routes due to the luck of the draw or people picking random, and in that case I think it is a decently healthy balance of traditional being favored because Knockout exiting while having the X factor of routes because there are people that prefer that

>>713836968
Well that bug was the only thing preventing the game from being shit

>>713837360
Fritanga is special because only he could make dunking on Sony boring but maybe him insulting Nintendo is funnier

>>713837478
Data from after the update is kinda skewed, since a lot of people stepped away because the update

>free roam has nothing of value, only gives you stickers
>majority of vehicles don't even show off your chosen sticker
>knockout tour only uses 8 cups instead of picking from all the routes available on the map
>intermission heavily favor sitting in the back more than regular tracks because the only shortcuts are cutting across chunks of grass
>80% of the music only plays in free roam
The fact that these are younger Nintendo staff makes these decisions more infuriating.

>>713832197
None of what you described is an issue, it is working as intended. I don't know how many hardcore competitive Nintendo fanbases have to run into this same brick wall before they realise Nintendo priorities luck over skill intentionally .They don't want hardcore people playing or shaping the game in any way, they would literally rather you not play and not ruin the experience for the children it was intended for.

>>713831375 (OP)
Beautiful…beautiful…dear god let it burn. Yes yes!!! Delicious tender tears…so beautiful…the end has come for Mario kart…yes oh yes! let it burn!

>>713837782
If people left then it hasn’t affected me because even before the update I only got rooms with 12-18 people and now I still do. While I do think people stepped away (or more likely are doing the discord lounge) I do think the people that actually dropped the game completely are not a large %.
Maybe it is my area but this is literally what I got when I went online right now

>>713833295
I've had Knockout races with only 5 or 6 actual people the rest filled with bots.

>>713837360
why are all these grifters ignoring nintendo fixed the reason people were picking random in the first place instead of the intended 3 choices?

>>713838568
Depending on where you live full 24 lobby rooms tend to be laggy and have people crash, so you will pretty much only get full 24 lobbies in japan and a handful metropolitan centers with good internet.
It is also dependent on how far away your switch is from the wifi.

>>713838717
>Other mario kart games
>Pick random
>Completely random track from any in the game (could also be one of the 3 options but wasn't weighted for them)

>Random now
>Weighted 30% 30% 30% chance for each of the 3 selected tracks and 10% for pure random
By fixed you mean broke? It doesn't work how the random button has historically always worked

>>713838371
What makes you think casuals and kids didn't like the previous Mario Kart format?

>>713839032
Tri State Area so pretty populated and honestly I prefer this (in this case it was a wireless connection in my living as I’m playing while I get some other things done but usually a wired connection). Again the whole point is that at least for me the online population has remained the same in both Races and Knockout. It is all anecdotal evidence because it is just my account but everything for me has remained mostly the same

>>713838371
I cannot comprehend why retards like you believe only tryhards want to play 3 lap races. That is literally what Mario Kart has always been.

>>713839045
>>Weighted 30% 30% 30% chance for each of the 3 selected tracks and 10% for pure random
that's not how it works anon

>>713839559
The new 3 choice tends to favor 3 laps now anon, they fixed it only giving intermission tracks, which was the reason people always picked random in the first place.

>>713839881
I feel like you mixed up several things

>>713831602
There's absolutely nothing "sweaty" about wanting to play a transitional 3 lap race, you bubbling retard.

>>713839881
>they fixed it only giving intermission tracks,
It used to only give 3 lap courses
They fixed it to now only be a random choice from the 3 tracks provided AND increased the possibility of it being an intermission

>>713839559
The casual audience does not give a shit what course you are playing on, they don't even notice the difference between an intermission track or a real one. Children do not care that the game keeps everyone incredibly tightly packed with constant rubber banding, to them it's exciting and if there's a sweaty nerd whose always in first place that degrades their experience.

Stop taking children's party games seriously

>>713840108
>AND increased the possibility of it being an intermission
they reduced that anon
why are you straight up lying? the bug in the first place was it only giving intermissions

>>713840327
The casual audience is literally the majority complaining about the update
Even the Japanese players hate it

>>713840481
>the bug in the first place was it only giving intermissions
It DIDN'T, that's why people chose RANDOM

>>713840327
>and if there's a sweaty nerd whose always in first place that degrades their experience.
But intermissions amplify this. That's why 3 laps is more casual friendly and fun.

>>713840506
No they aren't, it is a vocal minority of Nintendo adults. The last mario kart sold 40+ million copies, you are irrelevant

>>713840598
If it wasn't bugged and it only gave 3 laps why would people pick random to get 3 laps?

>>713839684
The consensus on the chances from random appear to be around that. It's most certainly weighted towards the current 3 options, which is the opposite point of the random button historically. You picked random because you didn't like those 3 courses

>>713840685
No it doesn't, straight line tracks turn the game into a horse race with gambling which is the intent, more experienced players hate it because it favours luck too heavily.

>>713831784
Tekken 8 was shit to begin with

>>713840771
because people wanted to play 3 laps what are you even arguing at this point

how would you fix bagging?

>>713840771
read >>713839045

random has always been... well random...? why wouldnt it pick one of the non-3 selected tracks? it just so happens that when it happens in this game instead of an intermission it turns into a 3 lap version

>>713840970
Ban anyone over 8 years old from playing the game.

>>713840703
Why did the supposed majority always vote random to ruin their fun? Why did the last Mario Kart sell so much when it was only tracks where sweaty nerds will beat them? Why are the casuals sweating hard enough to get into the sweaty match making rank? You don't actually believe anything you are saying do you?

>>713840970
remove 2 items and go back to 1. it's only started being a problem since deluxe when they introduced that. that's quite literally the reason why bagging works now, 2 items can swing your position much more than 1 did

>>713841114
Listening to you is giving me severe dejavu because everything you are saying is exactly what melee fans were saying almost 20 years ago. it took smash fans their entire adult life to finally come to terms with the fact that they weren't the target audience and they would never be.

8snoy seethe general

>>713841373
You didn't answer any of the questions because you don't believe what you are saying and don't know how to respond.

>>713841527
I didn't answer them because it's delusional bullshit. The vast majority does not pick random no matter how many cherry picked YouTube videos from ranting Nintendo adults you watch. Nintendo does not give a shit what you think you want and what you think casuals want, they are intentionally designing an experience for children and no amount of whining and trying to gaslight people into believing actually children love skill based games is going to change what Nintendo knows to be true. Children and casuals do not want skill based games, they want luck based, casual party games and for every mad Nintendo adult like you that they lose they will pick up 10 casuals who don't care.

>>713842072
>for every mad Nintendo adult like you that they lose
Except nintendo won‘t lose them. They‘ll cry for a bit but continue buying and playing nintendo games

>>713842072
You can look up the sales records for the previous Mario Kart games. It is a fact that they sold extremely well despite only having the original thee lap format that supposedly ruins the game for casuals. They are basically the definition of the ideal casual game. You are really going to try to convince me that you honestly believe casuals and children didn't like those games? I know you aren't that retarded anon, you can't fool me.

>The vast majority does not pick random
Then there was never a problem an no one's fun was ruined. As you can see, even you are arguing against yourself because you don't believe any of this.

>>713842530
You're right, their impotent rage is even less convincing because they all already bought the game and they always buy it every, single, time. I've watched melee fans spend 20 years crying about how shit smash is and yet they buy every single release and all the dlc.

I gotta give it to Nintendo. No one-absolutely NO ONE-else can break people's minds like them. The amount of hair-ripping and teeth-clenching happening globally daily is a sight to see.

>>713842643
You're an idiot and you're ignoring what I'm saying to repeat yourself. Nintendo doesn't care what you think the casual audience likes, they have a game design goal aimed at children and they are pushing towards that direction to widen their appeal further. You can continue to lie about random being the most popular choice, it wasn't.

>>713843024
You haven't really said much of anything. Rather than saying what your position is, you should say why you have that position. Why do you think the design that is heavily focused on intermission is more appealing to casuals and kids? Why do you think the previous format is not good for casuals and kids despite the massive sales that suggest otherwise? You do know Mario Kart has always been heavily luck based and that is not some new design, right? The intermissions don't give an advantage to the casual player that somehow got misplaced in the sweat room and more than the regular courses. They are simply just not as well designed, which has nothing to do with skill level.

>>713843672
I've already told you that casuals prefer luck over skill, every single complaint from you is a consequence of you not accepting this and not liking the balance they have settled on which is more fun for the audience it was intended for, casual babysitters/parents and toddlers so young they need auto steer to be on.

I refer you to the same boring, stale arguments that every smash player has been making for decades because it's identical
>B-b-but melee was fun for children and pros, they didn't need to change it!
They continued to ignore melee fans, the sales continued to grow, melee fans were replaced by brawl fans, then ultimate fans and the eventually accepted they weren't the target audience.

>>713844249
>I've already told you that casuals prefer luck over skill
How is this related? How does the change shift the game more towards luck than skill? The regular courses aren't super technical or hard. They are just better designed because more attention went into them.

>They continued to ignore melee fans, the sales continued to grow, melee fans were replaced by brawl fans, then ultimate fans and the eventually accepted they weren't the target audience.
In this case, you have nearly 80 million sales from Mario Kart 8 that need to be replaced. Maybe I'm not the best to say what casuals like, but I think the evidence is pretty strongly on my side that they enjoyed the game. At the very least, I'm not egotistical to argue that those 80 million are wrong and don't realize they weren't having fun.

>>713844890
Are you seriously trying to argue that the transition tracks are somehow more skill based than the regular courses or that they don't rely more on items (luck) for engagement? If that were the case you would be arguing to exclude normal tracks instead.

Nintendo got to 80 million sales by pushing in their current direction and they will continue on till it fails. I shouldn't have to remind you that MK8 made auto steer through default control scheme, the game itself is a massive drop off in skill from MK DS, you can continue to cry about it but there's at most 5 million hardcore MK gamers, 90%+ of their audience is hyper casual.

>>713845391
The difference in skill between intermissions and the regular tracks isn't too meaningful. I do about the same on both of them with plenty of top and bottom finishes. No matter how you look at it, Mario Kart is and has always been heavily based on luck regardless of course choice. You are not going to sweat your way to consistent 1st place finishes on any course unless you really are way better than the other players, which can only happen in lobbies without match making.

>If that were the case you would be arguing to exclude normal tracks instead.
I'd argue that balance would be nice.

>Nintendo got to 80 million sales by pushing in their current direction
You are calming that MK8 did so well because it was a casual game, but it is the same style as the courses in MKW that you claim are bad for casuals. You can't have it both ways.If MK8 appeals to casuals, then the full courses in MKW will also appeal to casuals and don't need to be heavily restricted. This is why I don't think you actually believe the things you are saying.

8snoys

>>713847862
Honestly I haven noticed a change today in terms of players.

>>713849276
What Nintendo thinks now currently holds less weight than what Nintendo thought ten years ago that has the record of one of the best selling games of all time to back it up. No matter how well MKW ends up doing, there is no denying that MK8 and the classic MK formula appeals to casuals. You need to stop pretending to be mad at some fictional perception you have of hard core Mario Kart players bullying casuals. It's just a fun casual game everyone can enjoy.

Nintendo only makes good games under adversity. I sincerely hope they fuck up their current moment, because they'll make some amazing games if they do.

Also they're being super fucking gay

I’ve been playing Yakuza 0 Director Cut. It’s pretty good, native 4K as well. But yeah MKW was a massive letdown at least for me. The core of the game which is the rally style intermissions sucks ass. I had full 24 player lobbies at launch and then yesterday after the update there’s been 12 people or less per lobby

Sega won btw.

>>713850537
BotW and Odyssey being two of the best games for Switch proves this. And yes, after like 2019-2020 all of their games started sucking.

they should do this shit with mario golf. make it open world an force you to drive to each course lol

>>713850537
This. Nintendo only makes their best stuff when they have no other choice

>>713831602
>retards would rather drive a straight line in an empty room than lose to better players

>>713852261
Rooms aren’t empty tho

>>713852646
9 out of 10 rooms have players leave and die before players join them. I've spent 200 hours on this game don't even bother.

>>713851941
BotW is Wii U

>>713852697
Sucks for you but
>>713838568 (me)
>>713850174 (me)
8 have not had any issues with rooms today. I legitimately haven’t noticed any change in population in rooms in WW

>>713852936
This is an overarching problem with the online system and you've proven that. The game doesn't aim to populate to 24. Once it begins to dip and people get tired of losing they leave. Nintendo does not refill those rooms. Get to 9k+ and maybe you'll notice it more.

>>713840598
Your comprehension skills are lacking.

>>713853063
I have seen a dude with 3K dominate one room who legitimately had to be a smurf because following him is how I learned some of the wall cuts and stuff. So I wonder if it is 9k issue specifically

>>713831375 (OP)
How’d they fuck it up? I just got mine today. I thought I’d unlock more cups after beating them all. What the fuck? Why are there so few levels? The levels feel like shit anyway. It feels like it’s all straight lines. Not a single track stood out to me besides the Boo one. Tell me I’m not crazy, bros.

>>713853652
>It feels like it’s all straight lines.
That's because it's all straight lines

No refunds

>>713854110
Ok so it’s generally agreed upon that the tracks are bad? Fuck my ass, bro. 8 is such a far superior game. You’re really pissed about this, yeah?

>>713851979

That would be really funny actually

>the most optimal way to play online now is to do nothing for 90% of the race
WTF is Nintendo's problem?

>>713857510
all they have to do is remove 2nd item slot or make it so you can't bank 2 comeback items

>>713851941
in hind sight maybe they still make shit even when they're on the ropes

>>713857674
this is why regular8 is better than 8D. most fags dont know this since they only played on switch though

Nintendo scabs DESERVE to have their mouths wrenched open and directly shat into by Nintendo's hairy, acne-riddled ass. Should've boycotted the Bitch 2 like the rest of us.

go back to playing Mario kart 8 then. you won’t ever get the same feeling playing world.

>>713842072
>I didn't answer them because

I've come to realize that the people who defend the transmission tracks is that they aren't playing a racing game to win the race. They are purely playing for the vibes. It's a driving simulator for them.

>>713857674

This. With the old item system you could hold an extra shell/banana manually for protection between item boxes, but the actual game changing items were limited by the single slot. With the amount of players there are now this would be a much better system. Bagging only really became prevalent after they gave you an entire second slot to use. It wasn't a problem back in Double Dash because the really strong items besides a Star were all character specific.

They'll defend it with something like "it's Mario Kart, you're not SUPPOSED to win," which only serves to out them as being shit at the game anyway. How is your prospect of winning so poor that you just accept it'll never happen?

>>713858602
They probably don't even have a Switch 2 and are just ironic shitposting for you's.

When I played the tight circuits in mk8 I always had the hope of winning and having that rush. I don’t get that feeling in mk world when i play those long stretches of highway. It’s just like some other post mentioned, it’s vibes. I don’t get that rush. It feels like the most hopeless racer ever

Add a knockout system to the intermission tracks and that'll curb bagging to at least the end of each lap a bit.

>>713858768
baby park is the only good item spam track and its not even a bagging track. it also was done best in double dash. I think items also were less busted until wii started adding more over powered things.

>>713851346
but why did jperm switch to playing a kids game?

>>713831375 (OP)
It's getting worse

so did everyone move back to mk8d?

>>713859269
There's a knockout mode.

Honestly a really scummy move to basically patch out 3 laps tracks for the most part after everyone bought it.

>>713831375 (OP)
Bro they fucked up from the onset of the game.
No one, and i mean fucking NO ONE ever once said.
>Hey you know what this racing game needs? Open world!

>>713864492
well, the problem is that mk8 gave them an impossible bar to clear. after being around and having so much DLC, it had a billion tracks and you have to "innovate" to make your game diff from mk8

>>713864492
If it wasn’t for knockout I would agree but that has been the most fun I have had with MK since DS

>>713831375 (OP)
nintendo players are fickle whiny babies.

>>713831770
Mario kart is basically a wagie highway commute simulator now. LEL

>>713858994
Exactly this. MK8’s tight circuits gave you that constant “almost there” tension-every turn you nail, every snipe you hit could win the race. In World, half the race is just holding straight and praying someone in 7th doesn’t pull a shock and nuke your run. It's like trying to get hyped in the middle of a scenic Uber drive. There's no stakes, no pressure, nothing to MAKE you fight for first. It's just highway hypnosis with item RNG.

I was pretty underwhelmed by the latter half of the Switch’s software library (releases from 2021-2025), and the fact that they’re beginning the generation with this shit game is not a good sign. Banaza looks good though, I have high hopes for it

>>713864492
A full singleplayer campaign using the open world would have allowed for Mario Kart to finally btfo Diddy Kong Racing and Crash Team Racing. Instead it's littered with gay little missions which don't even unlock anything cool.

I just got my switch 2 and started playing. as my first foray into online, I am getting absolutely rocked. did not expect to be humbled so hard

>>713867058
press the a button to go forward

I wish I could see how many active players this game has
I dont think its ever going to reach the player peaks and sales that MK8 has

how did yall manage to pirate it? you can't possibly have b-bought??

>>713831375 (OP)
I only play knockout tour because regular races are boring. I don't care at all about this.

>>713831375 (OP)
Kids game. Not a life replacement for adults.
You give your kid a switch when you need them to shut up for an hour or two, then you take it away.

It's a toy, for children. If you want to be fully invested in a video game, then you need to pick a made for adult game you can also modify to your specifications.

>>713868257
please list your games for adults, sir

Why is it a problem? You hold A to go forward all the same. Literally the same game as your 3-lap pussy shit.

>>713868347

does this look like just "holding A to go forward" to you

>>713866318
splatoon 3 is good tho

>>713831375 (OP)
Here’s how Nintendo could fix Mario Kart World

>>713868314
no. why the fuck would us adults want you freak manchildren shitting up our lobbies.

other anon is right. stay on your tablet and keep shitting in your diaper.

>>713834102
Lol I love this meme

>>713868689
>he says while shitting his diaper in fear about people judging him
lmao

>>713868721
why are you describing yourself anon.

disturbing. take meds and get your parents to help you change now.

>>713868347
because with 16 tracks you can practice them a million times each but with 200 transitions it's too hard

>>713868695
Same

>>713869112
there is nothing to practice on connecting tracks

>>713863883
Yes, I know. I mean putting that knockout mechanic into the other mode.

>>713831770
There was a bug that limited the random stage select to like 13 or so out of 200+ and they fixed it. So now all the people who spent the past weeks learning those few tracks in time trials are uppity that they're back on an even playing field with the average player who hasn't micro-optimised their gameplay.

>>713831602
Would you pay to do go-karting in a fucking straight line?
